What was supposed to be a peaceful return to Grantley Adams Memorial School was nothing but confusion for vendor Jean “Miss B” Mayers on Monday.
Instead of going to her usual spot inside the yard at the Blackman’s, St Joseph school, Mayers was placed at the entrance next to the guard hut, some 30 feet away from where she was accustomed selling for close to 30 years.
The 72-year-old, soft-spoken vendor told THE NATION that when she turned up Monday morning, she set up a few feet from where she previously used to be because construction work was taking place there.
“I went up there and I was selling, so when the chairman come in he said that I have to move from there. The principal came to me and he told the guard that I have to move from there and come down here,” she said, pointing to the area by the gate where she and her assistant, Esther Murray, were sitting with goods exposed.
